Timing begins on "Game start" and ends on final hit on last boss.
Times on the Super Game Boy are automatically converted to compare with other times on the list.
As of June 1, 2018, Soft resetting the game (A+B+Start+Select at once) to skip the first cutscene, before beginning timing, is allowed.
Visualboy Advance/Visual Boy Advance-M (VBA/VBA-M) in any variation IS BANNED for future submissions since it emulates GB games inaccurately. It is recommended to use Gambatte or BizHawk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doNLo-mn8Pw
Any% (Buster Only) rules: The only point in the game you must use a weapon other than the buster is Wily Star's Punk section, where you must use one of Pluto or Uranus to proceed through a wall.
